Subject: [PATCH] perf jevents: Raise exception for no definition of a arch std event

Recently Ilkka reported that the JSONs for the AmpereOne arm64-based
platform included a dud event which referenced a non-existent arch std
event [0].

Previously in the times of jevents.c, we would raise an exception for this.

This is still invalid, even though the current code just ignores such an
event.

Re-introduce code to raise an exception for when no definition exists to
help catch as many invalid JSONs as possible.
